With this game being my first ever dive into the series, I didn't know what to expect of this game at first. However, what I was given was so much more than what I expected. The graphics is beautiful, the sound design is immaculate, the characters are cheesy and fun, and, most of all, the gameplay is phenomenal. I love this game, and I'll definitely check out more of this series.

I began playing this game due to someone very close to me recommending it to me (if you're reading this: hello, hon :) <3). and I do not regret it one bit. The game's aesthetics are all so, so damn good and enjoyable, and the gameplay is fun, albeit punishing and luck-based (neither of which are bad qualities in my eyes). I love this game to bits, and I can't wait to continue playing this with them.

I used to play this game all the damn time when I was little, replaying the whole game on a daily basis for who knows how long. After returning to this game many years later and replaying it, I am very delighted to say that my love for this game is not only the same, but it increased, somehow. It's unfortunate what happened to the series as a whole, but this game (and the 2nd entry, from what I heard) is still amazing and very much worth your time.
